In late November 2011, a handful of people came together to make a dream come true for a teenage girl in Wisconsin named Madeline Wagner.

Madeline, 14, is like most teenage girls--she's interested in boys, loves to play video games and can be a little shy. Some of her tastes and hobbies differ, though. She has a strong dislike of anything related to Justin Bieber, and she doesn't like makeup, manicures or dresses. But she loves fast cars. In fact, Madeline, who has autism and is classified as highly functional, is an automotive expert.

“She studies and knows all the models and much of their technical information,” said her father, Richard Wagner. “She's extremely intelligent and can remember facts and figures like you wouldn't believe.”

She can recite obscure facts, numbers and speed records as if she's reading items off a menu. As her interest in cars has grown, so have her desires. Her goal is to be the chief test driver for Italian supercar manufacturer Lamborghini.

When her father placed an ad on Craigslist hoping to find a Lamborghini owner wiling to give Madeline a ride in her dream car, he got a surprising outpouring of support.

One car collector offered to fly Madeline and her father from their Wisconsin home to Ohio for a ride-along.

“He called to tell me that there were more than 20 guys across the country trying to make this happen for Maddy,” Wagner said. “It made the hairs on my arm stand up, and I got chills down my back.”

“God put this thing in front of me, and I knew I had to do something about it,” Silikowski said.

So, the morning after Thanksgiving, Silikowski, his friends and members of Auto MotorPlex made Madeline's dreams come true.

She was led to believe that she and her father were going to visit a place in Minnesota for their Christmas tree. But as they pulled up to the complex, with cars lined up and waiting, it became clear that she was getting a different kind of gift.

On display were 18 exotics, among them three Lamborghinis: an LP 640 Murciélago and two Diablos. Also on hand were a rare 1965 Ferrari 275 GTS, a Porsche GT2, a Ford GT, a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, a Caterham, a Ferrari F430 and a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG.

“These people are so darn nice,” Silikowski said. “We've been very fortunate in life. Why wouldn't we want to give back when we can?”

“It was incredible,” Richard Wagner said.

“Not only Maddy, but those who were there and brought out their cars, got so much out of this,” Silikowski said. “It's one family helping another.”
